1÷(x-3) + 1÷(x-1) = 5÷(x-1) - 2÷(x-2)
You asked:
Solve the equation \(\frac{1}{x - 3} + \frac{1}{x - 1} = \frac{5}{x - 1} - \frac{2}{x - 2}\) for the variable \(x\).
MathBot Answer:
The 2 solutions to the equation are: \[\begin{aligned}x &= \frac{9}{2} - \frac{\sqrt{17}}{2} \approx 2.4384472\\x &= \frac{9}{2} + \frac{\sqrt{17}}{2} \approx 6.5615528\end{aligned}\]
